DON'T forget the Dig ReunlOn at Beaver
next Saturday.
The Vinton County boys are expected
in considerable force.
Speeches? Well, there'l be plenty of
them-and good ones.
An immense police force will be sworn
in for those two days.
The Committees are working harmon
iously and successfully.
Look out for some nice decorating in
town during the Reunion.
A couple of sections of artillery will be
here. Stand on your toes!
The Show divide the crowd?' Well, it
can stand several divisions.
Indications are multiplying that the
crowd will be simply immense.
The Reunion will not be a time for ex-
citement, but for solid enjoyment.
Boys, bring your girls. The supply of
molasses-candy will be inexhaustible.
For those who desire to sleep in the
tents, there will be good, clean places.
The Reunion will be Soldiers love-
feast, where everybody may be happy.
The seth boys will secure the big Cres-
cent Rink for their Regimental Reunion.
Every man in Jackson County who can
come, ought to be here on the 22d and
23d.
There will be plenty of people for the
Reunion and show both, and hundreds to
spare.
| Citizens should look out for friends
from distance, and make it pleasant for
them.
This will be the largest Reunion in
Southern Ohio since the Portsmouth Re
union.
Bring the ladies and the children to the
Reunion. They will have splendid
time.
Boys, we'll hear the old war-songs we'll
sing. Jackson beats the world on vocal
music.
Committees will look to the safety of
the people. Your children will be in no
danger.
The Committee put the price of swings
and similar schemes at fifteen dollars for
the two days.
The business houses in Jackson will all
be open during the Reunion, with plenty
of clerks.
Boys, brush your memories up. We
want the very best stories you've got for
the campfire.
| Scarcely soldier but will meet some
one here that he knew in the days of
"fire and blood"
Watchmen will be on hand to prevent
accidents about the Railroads. Every
body will be safe.
The Committee has laid out the
grounds to some extent, and located the
positions of the tents.
The is one gathering that will beat the
Jackson, slightly. 1t is the National En-
campment at st. Louis.
Noyes, Beatty, Grosvenor, Foraker, and
so on, are the kind of speakers we may
expect at the Reunion.
Lieutenant Colonel Fulton ought to be
here. The Jackson boys would like to
see "The Jack of Clubs"
Gallia and Adams Counties promise to
be well represented at the Reunion, Pike
will be here, so will Scioto.
The Reunion Committees must prepare
for lots of work. 1t will be no foolish
ness to run so big thing.
Reunions have been quite numerous
in Southern Ohio recently. But there is
only one Jackson County Reunion.
We have not heard whether Col. Ap-
pier will be here. He might come, just
to make it look like old times.
The authorities should arrange to dis
miss the Schools on the 22d and 23d. If
they don't the Schools will dismiss them
selves.
The Hamden Post and Camp, we be-
lieve, will come as organized bodies. All
such organizations should come in the
same way.
Come, listen to the speeches and songs
and music, and take the old Veterans by
the hand. 1t will be time of solid en-
joyment.
There are one or two graves of SD
boys in the old cemetery here that ought
to be looked after They are unmarked
and almost obliterated.
1t is pity we can't have Chaplain Lit
tie, with his organ, here. He was known
in West Virginia as "the Godlike man
with the apple-jack."
The good gray Colonel of the 91st will
be here. in utter contempt and defiance
of CHASTITY wound received during the
war. Turley is good one.
Those who sleep at the Camp Ground
will doubtless be reminded that it is i'm
polite to retire early. About 1 o'clock a.
m. is fashionable at Reunions.
The 56th Ohio Reunion will be at Jack
son. If two or three of the boys want an
extra one at Portsmouth on the 18th, we
wish them success. But come to jack
son.
